Along with public health leadership skills to enable students to contribute to the new school nursing agenda, students gain knowledge and skills in public health practice that will help students address health inequalities with individuals and communities. They also gain an understanding of the evidence that supports and underpins practice.
Developing as a responsive, resilient, and adaptable practitioner who can adapt to the changing health and social care environment is important.
